For me it was - [b]Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel[/b]

The sort of film that makes you question whether becoming a parent was such a good idea!

Thankfully my daughter is 14 now, so those days are long-gone. ๐Ÿ˜€

No one film on it's own, rather the same film over and over and over. Moana once is great. All the songs from Moana on a loop 200 times a day ? ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

See also Frozen, Trolls, Tangled etc

Yep, there's something in small children's brains that means they can see the same thing over and over and over and over again and not get bored.

My little one is into Paw Patrol at the moment, there's a couple of series worth on Netflix but she only wants to watch the one with the Alien.

You shut your filthy whore mouth. MLP is awesome!

Here's my favourite Rainbow Dash outfit:

Some of the Direct-to-DVD Disney stuff is absolutely appalling though. e.g. "Once Upon A Halloween", which is basically just bits of other Disney films stuck together for no real reason with very little attempt at a plot.

Besides the obvious - Finding Nemo and Frozen.

Finding Nemo is just one long string of oppressive jeopardy sequences, the dad is annoying as hell too. As for Frozen - utterly un convincing, and that stupid snowman is the pits. None of it makes sense. It's garbage.

The Peanuts movie last year.

Rubbish and it destroyed all my fond memories of Snoopy and crew.

Dear Lord, the Peanuts movie was awful - luckily I didn't have any fond memories of Charlie Brown, as I always thought it was rubbish.

However, the Penguins of Madagascar is truly awful. Makes no sense and is just shouty and loud.

The water horse.

As above once was ok, but Christ over and over and over again. The last time I saw it I was willing the shells to hit him.

It's brilliant! "Dave!" And the names of the other octopuses.

Or do I just have Stockholm Syndrome?

G-Force. G stands for gerbil apparently not godawful.
High School Musical was starting to wear thin after about the twentieth time.

'Barbie and the Great Fairy Rescue' I think it was called, although it was a good few years ago now it's still etched in as being the worst 90 minutes of my life.

The only thing I really took away from it was that during the ads for the upcoming stuff, another kids' film had 'Kickstart My Heart' by Motley Crue in the soundtrack. It was aimed at 6-8 year olds ๐Ÿ˜ฏ ๐Ÿ˜†

The post credits scene where they were taken to the glue factory was the best bit.

As the father of two young girls, I consider it one of my lifes greatest achievements that I have managed to avoid ever watching Frozen

Dear Lord, the Peanuts movie was awful

Mrs Binners took Binnerette number 2 to see that, and she would concur, though the language she used was considerably more forceful

I think Alvin and the Chipmunks is the worst I've had to endure

Cars is pretty dull,

Planes is worse.

The elevator pitch must have been [i]"Let's do 'Cars' but with planes"[/i] and that's exactly what they did.

I consider it one of my lifes greatest achievements that I have managed to avoid ever watching Frozen

As kids movies go, it's actually a pretty good film watch ONCE.

Planes is worse.

Planes 2 is worserer.

Our first and last 'Disney' (barring Star Wars of course, but I don't count them) was Tangled. Wasn't all that bad but after the first song, No. 2 son turned around an asked 'Are they going to do that like every 10 minutes??'
They were oot.

It was made worse because I genuinely wanted to see it and wanted my kids to enjoy it as much as I liked the original (and Bilko for that matter).

had to endure the horrendous film that is Nativity 2 with my niece.

Actually that's a good shout I think Nativity 3 pips the Topcoat movie to the post.

Sweajnr (3.5) gets 30 minutes of his choice every day. For the last 2 weeks it's been the last 30 minutes of planes 2 every evening... ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

I quite like Tangled, there are some good gags in it.

Lego Batman.

It's basically the same joke recycled every minute for an hour and a half or however long the film is (felt like years).

On the flip side I really like Frozen and Sing.

Now Cars I didn't mind at all.

It was my daughters favourite film for a long time - and all the model cars from it are in her 'special toys' box on the attic (including approx. 9 Lightning McQueens!).

She secretly wants to go and see the new one, but would never live it down if her mates found out!

Thankfully she was never into Disney Princess movies.

Rio2 is a good shout. Truly awful. Most times I prefer kids films nowadays - even the chipmunks. Good escapism. But the people who dreamt up rio2 should be made to walk the streets naked.

POSTED 21 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Yep, that's pretty much [b]the[/b] joke. Repeat in a stupid deep 'uberhero' voice every ten seconds for an hour and a half and you don't need to see the film.

None of your choices come close to the scary, insane cheap arse Puss in Boots film that's on Amazon Prime. It makes no sense, the animation is just wrong but I can't explain how and it's freaky as hell. I've contemplated breaking the television just to avoid it.

Not a film, but the Tweenies. I could happily torture those foam faced bastards all day long. On a plus point Mrs Funkmaster put Trolls on for Funk Jr and when they started singing he put his hands over his ears and cried his little heart out. He did the same for Sing too. Never have I felt so proud. He shares Daddy's natural fear of musicals.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

There is an episode where they brick up a sentient train in a tunnel for having the audacity to want to do a different job. WTF is that teaching to children?

Don't get me started on the new Postman Pat. It's no wonder the Royal Mail can't compete with other couriers either. When you take in to account that 99% of the yearly budget is spent on helicopters, quad bikes and single seat aeroplanes. All so that one massively inept ****wit can balls up delivering mail to twenty houses.

THomas and the Magic Railroad has very little to do with the original, odd, stories by the Rev.
It's so weird and disjointed with real people and trains and magic and stuff.

You should see it actually. ๐Ÿ™‚
